They have to swim across a river to fetch essential items, which becomes very dangerous especially during the monsoon season. Heavy rains have made the river crossing even riskier, yet the villagers have not received any help from the government despite their repeated requests. The situation highlights a critical need for infrastructure improvement to ensure the safety and well-being of the community. With ongoing monsoon fury affecting the region, the absence of a proper bridge continues to put the villagers` lives at risk as they strive to meet their daily needs.
